Featured Replies

Hello,just in the last stages of my rebuild and ive been comparing what parts i had to what is on the parts catalog. Everything is order apart from i dont have reed valve spacers? Do i need them?

What type of reed is fitted, if they are boyesen dual layer reeds they don't use stoppers. Any other brand on the standard reed block should require stoppers

V-force reed block doesn't have stoppers

Hello again Tony, I’m away from the garage but I took this picture today. Can you tell what it is from the picture?

Can only tell you that it's not a v-force reed, if it was the cage would be plastic, have no screws & your manifold would have the wings cut off

To tell whether you have boyesen reeds fitted to the standard cage will require a shot from the other side

The 2.9 had a 5mm spacer, the 2.5 did not.

Thank you copemech, once again the help is much appreciated!
